How to Save Money at Sierra veterinary clinic
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Solid vet, has worked on the dog and the cat and helped them both! If you're broke, tell him, I always do, so then he only does the tests he thinks will confirm his suspicions, if he's wrong he'll move on to the next test rather than run the whole battery and charge you a fortune. He's been right the first time, every time, so I get in and out quickly for minimal expense. He's not a cut-rate vet, either. Our male cat had urinary crystals (common in male cats, sometimes females too, so if yours starts peeing or pooping outside the litter box, out of nowhere, TAKE THEM IN IMMEDIATELY). Dr. Ron was able to take a quick pee sample, spin it, and put it into a brand-new machine that is not widely available at other vets. We were looking at the results with him in 20 minutes. The machine puts the images of the pee sample on the screen, identifies the types of crystals present, and circles them on screen. Without the trial-and-error that usually comes with figuring out how to treat feline urinary crystals, Dr. Ron knew immediately that 99% of the crystals were struvite, meaning our boy can't break down magnesium. Dr. Ron wrote a prescription for special magnesium-free food, and in 72 hours the crystals were gone. Freddie's been happy and healthy ever since. In the last year, he's treated our dog for a heart murmur and fluid build-up, and an injured ASL. His diagnoses and prescriptions have been spot-on and helped our dog recover her quality of life! I can't recommend Dr. Ron enough, he is a vet who cares about your animal and always gives it his best.

Dr. Ron saved my little rescue's life. His whole urinary track was full of stones. It took two surgeries, one that created a new opening for him to pee through but it's like he's been reborn. I've never been so grateful for a skilled surgeon in my life. Thank you. 🙏🙏
